About Gmork Scam Guard
Gmork Scam Guard sits quietly in your web browser, like a patient security advisor. When something looks like a scam, it tells you in plain words what it noticed and what to do next, even when the message seems to come from someone in your family.
It's made for people who would rather not be tech experts: parents and grandparents, busy people who read email in a hurry, and front desks that handle a lot of messages. It stays quiet when things look normal and speaks up when they don't.
WHERE IT WORKS
• Gmail and Outlook on the web: Gmork checks the one email you have open, including emails in Spam or Junk.
• Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Web and Google Voice in the browser: it reads the latest incoming messages of the chat you have open. Never what you type, and never your other chats. (Chat support is newer and still being tuned.)
• Every other website: basic checks for look-alike addresses, fake sign-in and payment pages, fake "your computer is infected" pop-ups and gift card purchases.
CLEAR COLORS, PLAIN WORDS
• "Monitoring": Gmork is on and watching (your inbox list, or any other website). When you open an email or chat it says "Checking this email…" for a moment, then "No warning signs" if nothing looks wrong. It is never green on a page it can't check.
• Orange "Check first": something looks off. The card says what Gmork noticed and how to check it in a way you already trust.
• Red "Stop and verify": this looks like a scam. On sign-in and payment pages, Gmork holds the button while you decide.
• If you already sent money or typed a password, a short checklist walks you through what to do next.
Every warning says what Gmork noticed, what it can't know, and one simple next step, like "call them back on a number you already have" or "open the website yourself from a bookmark."
WHAT IT WARNS ABOUT
• Fake sign-in pages: a page that looks like your bank, PayPal or Microsoft but sits on the wrong address. Gmork shows the real address next to the fake one.
• Look-alike addresses: swapped letters, numbers instead of letters, or extra words, like paypa1.com or amazon-secure-login.com.
• Links that lie: link text that shows one website but goes to another.
• "Family" money requests: "Hi Mom, I lost my phone, I need money today, don't tell Dad."
• Pressured payments: urgent requests to pay new bank details, or "don't call me, just send it."
• Unsolicited loan, grant and investment offers, especially ones that ask for a fee, bank details, ID or a phone call.
• Senders without a real website: for emails from senders it doesn't already know, Gmork checks whether the sender's website exists, actually loads, forwards to a different website, or was registered recently. A stranger whose domain has no working website gets a red warning.
• Vague introductions from strangers ("who runs your company? are you the right person?") and fake donation requests. For a real organization, Gmork can offer a "Go to the official site" button instead of the email's links.
• Gift cards and crypto: any message asking you to buy gift cards or send their codes gets a warning, and Gmork shows a short "check first" note before you buy or send a gift card online.
• Requests for your codes: messages asking you to read out a security code that was sent to your phone.
• Fake tech support and remote-control scams: "call this number" virus pop-ups and pages that push AnyDesk, TeamViewer and similar apps. Gmork pauses those downloads unless they come straight from the app maker's own website, and helps you leave full screen.
• Spam and Junk: an email your mail service put in Spam or Junk gets a red warning unless you marked the sender as trusted, and clicks on its links are held until you choose.
MORE THAT HELPS
• Personal or Workplace display: short cards for home, or fuller detail for busy desks. Same protection either way.
• Badge and card size: Small, Medium or Large, the same size on every website. Home installs start at Medium, Workplace at Small.
• Read aloud: every warning has a Read aloud button, and red warnings can be spoken automatically (off by default).
• Ask Gmork: a side panel where you can ask "Is this safe?" about the page or email you're on. For an email that clearly checks out (a known company's own address, links to its own site), it answers right away, without AI.
• Strict mode with a PIN: a helper can set a PIN so red warnings can't be clicked away and settings can't be changed without it. It's a speed bump, not a lock.
• Family alerts (Family plan): a helper you choose gets a short email when Gmork shows a red warning. Only the kind of alert, how serious it is, the site's name (optional) and the time. Never messages or page content.
• IT alerts (Workplace): the office's IT person or manager gets a short email when someone on staff sees a red warning or clicks past one. Only the kind of warning, which computer and the time. Never email or page content.
• 13 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Ukrainian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew. Scam checks look for common scam phrases in all of them, whatever language you pick. The translations are machine-made and are still being reviewed by native speakers.
PRIVACY
• The built-in rules run on your computer, in your browser.
• Gmork never reads what you type into pages or chats. On sign-in and payment pages it reads the page itself (address, title, logo text, where the form sends your details), never your passwords or card numbers.
• The optional AI check is off until you turn it on and agree. When it's on, Gmork removes email addresses, phone numbers, long numbers such as account numbers, and names it can recognize, then sends that cleaned-up text of the open email, the open chat's latest incoming messages, or a short summary of a sign-in or payment page to gmork.com. gmork.com forwards it to our AI provider (OpenAI) for a second opinion and does not store the message.
